Sean's skill as an attorney are second to none. Very considerate and educated in personal injury. Any question I had, he answered extremely quickly and was more than knowledgeable. He was not afraid to challenge the insurance company and was able to gain me a fantastic settlement.

Attorney Donohue provided my wife and I services for the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new home. The sale of the previous home was a standard transaction. The purchase of the new home was complicated to say the least. Attorney Donohue was able to clearly layout all of our options at each decision point throughout the process and we were able to complete the purchase of the home of our dreams. I attribute the positive outcome completely to attorney Donohue's ability and expertise. I would highly recommend attorney Donohue for all matters, simple, complicated or anywhere in between.

To what maters for most people searching for an attorney who cares at least as much about them as they do about themselves! This, as anyone who has experience with lawyers, is a rare find. Attorney Donohue is the real deal! Full stop. I say this as a hard charging twenty year veteran officer in the Army, a medical doctor, and now, a minister in training. Sean is not a self serving, money grubbing, do nothing attorney wishing to line his own pocket, who will lie to you or for you. If this is what you seek, I advise to look elsewhere. If you need an advocate, with morals, character and integrity, Mr. Donohue is all that with charm and an intellect that dwarfs most others in the room. I highly recommend him.

Resolved DUI

5.0 stars

Attorney Donohue provided excellent legal assistance in resolving a DUI and "failure to submit to a chemical test" case with the RI Attorney Generals Office. I was facing a number of repercussions as a result of the DUI, I would lose my job, my license, my professional credentials and have a tarnished record. Due to his guidance and professional legal assistance, the DUI and "failure to submit" was dropped to a reckless driving charge, I kept my job, my credentials, and my license suspension was reduced to 90 days (instead of 6 months).

I have been working with Sean Donohue for the past 8 years with my Real Estate transactions. I can not speak highly enough about Sean. He is a complete "Professional". Over the years, I have observed Sean to be an individual that truly cares about his clients and it shows with the way he responds immediately to their calls and making sure the clients receive the information they are looking for. I have referred Sean to many of my current clients and close friends who have found him to be a very personable and trustworthy individual.

Workmens Compensation

I have the deepest gratitude to Mr. Donohue for representing me in a very complex Workmens Compensation Case.I had initially seen a different Attorney with my case .I was quite dissatisfied as I was not seeing progress with my case. I was quite frustrated and turned to Mr Donohue in hopes he would take on this complicated matter! Mr Donohue not only took on my case but successfully settled the case to my great content.I was so impressed with the caliber of Mr Donohue's work and his perseverance in wanting nothing short of a "win"!!! The Final Decision lead to the State of Connecticut's Appellate Court recognizing my case as a " New Law".... Healey vs. Hawkeye Construction LLC ET AL ( AC30894).I am so grateful to Mr Donohue for his time and effort in achieving great results with my case .

Real Estate Representation

5.0 stars

Posted by David
March 22, 2015

I was referred to Sean Donohue about 2 years ago as I was in need of real estate representation. I had preveously dealt with only 2 or 3 other lawyers and always had the feeling that their attention to my needs was put on the back burner. Sean was and is the exact opposite. He responds immediately to my questions, however menial they may be, with concise, straightforward and easy to understand answers. I have always had the impression and feeling that lawyers/attorneys were dishonest. I do not in any way get that feeling from Sean. He is as honest as they come. That is a huge factor for me. I have recommended him to friends and acquaintances and I continue to use him for legal advice.
